This Is What I Told My Children

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in the world."

--Fred Rogers (of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood)

Thought about this today in connection with all the first responders and doctors who stepped up on Monday. And everyone else who helped when they saw a need.

About Me

Welcome to the world of Mama D!
A biologist by profession, I'm currently the SAHM of three rambunctious small fry (boys are 12 and 14, girl is 10) and the wife of an attorney with a very good sense of humor, which he often needs around this house. :) An enthusiastic student of taekwondo, I'm also the keeper of the family genealogy records, an avid (some might say insane) geocacher, a school board member and a volunteer for way too many school and community activities. Some days I am overwhelmed by how lucky I am, and some days I'm just overwhelmed!
I'm always interested to see who is stopping by here...please leave a comment! Unless you are a spammer, of course, in which case I will delete it immediately and then curse you with the fleas of a thousand camels.
